Hello poppet I'm new too and learning all the stuff there is to get to grips with about vaping so you're not alone! The folks here are really great and very patient with us newbies and there's lots of threads and info about it all on these forums. Please don't worry about asking basic questions - chances are that you'll be asking something someone else needs to know the answer to aswell, but they're too shy to ask! *blush* All the best MissT

poppet .... You asked if you could put any liquid in the cartomizers/clearomizers. This is a Pandora's Box of "Probably Not!" I am new to vaping too, but in my humble opinion, if you buy a pyrex or glass 'tank' then you can put anything in any of them (I think). The 'plastic' tanks can deteriorate with some flavours. I am sure there is a thread somewhere in here that lists the flavours that can cause a problem with plastic tanks, but I don't know where it is, sorry.

I'm keeping my head down. I tried a myepack cartomizer with 100% VG (dekang vegas blend) and got my missus to try it (she doesn't vape very often). The difference is minimal according to her. I agree as well. Whatever is causing your trouble seems more likely to be either the flavour or how you inhale.
The difference between PG and VG gets more noticeable in higher power equipment, I guess.. ???
We compared 24mg triple 5 (VG) with 18mg triple 5 (80% PG) and they seem to balance themselves out...
To be honest, too much clutching at straws.... i.m.o.

Hi poppet welcome from me, If you order anything from Joose Juice they make their juice to order, so bare in mind the liquid will need to be 'Steeped' (whole new story) for at least a week or so, I bought some juice from them 2 weeks ago, after 10 days steeping it tasted like wet cardboard still. Steeping is the process where the juice needs to 'fuse' together at a molecular level. Here's a forum post that may help My understanding of Steeping by ChillerVapes You also might want to get some eJuice from a local B & M (bricks & Mortar) vape shop if you have one near you as their juice will 9/10 be ready to vape with no steeping needed. Also, if you havn't checked it yet, check out the Pics/ Vids of how to get started +abbreviations section, helped me loads when I joined a few weeks ago along with E-cigarette/E-liquid Vendors List + discount codes if you decide to buy anything else online, some great discounts there too. I've bought loads of stuff from Myepack, seems the cheapest UK online retailer for vape equipment. Edit: LOL, beaten to it, ^^^^^ also what chykensa said Hi choobeydoo thanks for your info, I've just looked at the sections you mentioned and you're right, really good info etc. I hadn't realised about the steeping, this site is great especially for people like me who know absolutely nothing

To be honest, too much clutching at straws.... i.m.o. Cheers for that djs (and your missus), tonight I will be experimenting with different inhaling techniques fingers crossed it is just that. I suppose after 30 odd years of inhaling/smoking one way it might take a bit of time learning a new way.

You and me both poppet! I'm finding I have days where I just get stuck and I can't wrap my head around things, probably because I'm trying to take on too much info at once, but after a while it starts making more sense. I'm still playing about with my technique too. I seem to get most flavour when I hold the vapour in my mouth for a lil bit and kinda let it swirl around for a second lol Breathing it out through my nose is sometimes good too, although it sometimes makes me sneeze and sniffle a bit! The most surprising thing to me is how relaxed it makes me feel. I suffer with anxiety so I'm used to paying attention to my breathing. Those long slow draws on the ecigs and just letting the vapour kinda mill around really seems to calm me right down. It's lovely!

Only been vaping for 3 weeks (not a real smoke since then) but starting from next week i'm already planning DIY juice making and DIY coil making!! I knew naff all about vaping until reading up on these forums and getting advice from these lovely people on here, they really are friendly and the place has a real 'family' feel about it. I've learnt so much in such a short space of time and there is soooo much to take in, I think my brain is on overload sometimes!!

Well I tried different inhaling techniques last night and everyone was right, it was much better and although I still went outside for one cigarette it was only one, which is an improvement. I normally start my day with a cuppa and cig before the house wakes up but not this morning - yay - so fingers crossed with all the information people have given me I'm on my way to ditching the smelly ones

Good news poppet . . . I think we all agree that there's a learning curve when it comes to vaping, whether that's on eliquid/kit or anything else. But it is so very worth preserving and before you know it, alot of the stuff will become second nature to you and you won't look back. Don't put yourself under pressure to do everything overnight, take it at a pace that feels comfortable to you . . . . .
